Dinky Toys 370, Dragster Set.

This is a Dinky Toys No 370, Dragster set. No doubt made in answer to the Corgi Toy models of the time, with their innovative ‘Whizz Wheels’. This set featured a launch block with a snap back probe that slotted into the back of the dragster. It was released via a button atop the launch block.
This model was produced between 1969 and 1974.
